Green Tea ~ Simply Delicious!

     My #2 simple, beneficial idea to enhance your health & your New Year to come is green tea.
    The graphic to the left says it all. Besides curbing appetite & burning calories (yes, it revs your metabolism!) green tea:
~ Reduces cancer risk
~ Improves brain health, boosting memory
~ Lowers cholesterol, blood sugar levels & blood pressure
~ Promotes overall oral health
~ Promotes skin health & good circulation
~ Reduces stress
~ Keeps bones strong
~ Provides Vitamins B, C & E and trace minerals

    The health benefits of drinking green tea are staggering & it tastes great. Think what great things we could be doing to our bodies if we had one cup a day. Better yet, if we substituted another glass of iced green tea for soda/sugary drinks or for diet drinks, that’s positive change. My favorite way to drink hot or cold is with honey & lemon. There are flavors of green tea galore; you will definitely find some favorites. Also, Trader Joe’s grocery sells Green Tea Infused Mints right at the checkout. Three mints are supposed to equal the benefits of a cup of tea! Enjoy!
